Tony Tremlett (bishop)

He remained unmarried and single throughout his life, although he had twenty-six godchildren (all boys) with all of whom he stayed in regular contact.

Following his retirement in 1980,[3] he lived with a resident Housekeeper in the Cotswold town of Northleach, where he died on 22 August 1992.

He began his career with a curacy at St Barnabas, Northolt,[4] from where he rose steadily in the Church hierarchy.

[3] He acquired a positive reputation for being skilled in encouraging vocations to ordination amongst young men, and 50 ordinands and priests whose vocations he had personally encouraged clubbed together to purchase his episcopal regalia on his elevation to the episcopate.

[7] Nonetheless, in retirement he often bemoaned the fact that, despite his careful prayers, only one of his 26 godsons took Holy Orders.
